Vitra Bascule High Back Lounge Chair
A Private Place to Sit Back and Unwind
The Vitra Bascule High Back Lounge Chair, designed by Antonio Citterio, combines generous comfort with an elegant, architectural form to create a sophisticated place for relaxation and retreat.
With its enveloping high back and beautifully upholstered seat, Bascule offers a greater sense of privacy and seclusion than a conventional lounge chair. It’s a chair designed to settle into – whether you’re reading at home, enjoying a quiet conversation or simply taking a moment away from everything around you.
Antonio Citterio’s refined approach gives Bascule a distinctly luxurious character without excess. The generous upholstery provides inviting comfort, while the elegant metal structure brings lightness and definition to the design. The contrast creates a chair that feels substantial and indulgent while retaining the understated sophistication associated with Vitra.
The high-backed silhouette also gives Bascule a strong presence within an interior, making it a natural choice for contemporary living rooms, reading spaces, private studies, hotel lounges and beautifully considered reception areas.
A timeless piece of furniture for spaces where comfort deserves to be enjoyed.

Wellworking Says…
“The High Back Bascule feels like a chair you can retreat into. Antonio Citterio has combined generous, enveloping comfort with a beautifully restrained frame, so despite its size it never feels cumbersome.
